The current church was designed by Frézier and built between 1740 and 1749. The chapel was erected as a parish church by Gouyon de Vaudurant (Bishop of Léon) on May 16, 1750, separate from that of Saint-Pierre-Quilbignon. Depicted in a very simple Jesuit style, due to a lack of resources, the church consists of a nine-bay nave and side aisles; the gable facade has a semicircular arch. Relatively spared from the destruction of World War II, it is today the oldest church in Brest. The statue of Our Lady of Recouvrance, above the right-hand side altar, is one of the rare religious works by Yves Collet. In the courtyard, there is a commemorative monument made of Kersanton stone, surmounted by a kneeling statue of Abbot Y. M. Queinnec, the work of Yann Larc'hantec.

Standing 37 meters tall, the Trezien lighthouse is located inland 500 meters from the shore and 1.5 kilometers from the Pointe de Corsen, in the commune of Plouarzel. This directional lighthouse, aligned with the Kermorvan lighthouse, has allowed safe crossing of the Four channel for around a hundred years.

A cozy place for a sugar break... when you're out of fuel. The only place open on Sundays. The owner Nelly, very friendly, is used to seeing cyclists. Thanks to her for her hospitality

A trip to the "Capucins", take the rue de Saint-Malo (dated 1690, preserved from the bombings) then a crossing by cable car to walk rue de Siam and stroll through the shops (superb "Dialogues" bookseller and the unmissable " History of Chocolate")
